I was watching Daily Show the other night, and they were looking at Romney's ill-fated trip to various friendly countries, my own included. Is it silly that I got a warm and fuzzy feeling when Jon referred to Britain as 'our greatest ally' ?

Means little to me coming from a politician, but it gave me alittle lift hearing it from a comedian :p

Yabbut its one of those unhealthy relationships, because we like you more than you like us. Also we have been getting secret admirer notes from Canada for a while.

but canada, she is cold! she likes touching us sometimes, but other times she says ew gross! she sure doesn't put out like that hotty australia!

DanaC 08-06-2012 01:36 PM

On the contrary. We pretend to not like you as much as you like us, but really we're insecure and needy and require constant reassurances that we are still beautiful :p

And everyone knows Australia is a brazen hussy.

You've done it, UT ... you've captured the essence of Canada's obsession with the US ... :lol2:

"FAP offensive"...

I visualize soldiers in olive drab combat gear, marching forward, hunched over, like the Marines used to do with bayonets affixed.

Only instead of rifles/bayonets, they all got their cock out whacking like mad while marching right at ya.

Disconcerting, at the least...

Court returns stolen cash to bank robber
 
What?
Quote:

An Austrian court has ordered a bank robber be given back £51,000 that he stole 19 years ago.

Bank manager Otto Neuman stole £150,000 in cash as well as gold bars and gold coins from his own branch in 1993. After getting into financial difficulties, he recruited two accomplices to stage a fake robbery at the Erste Bank in Vienna's Doebling district.

By the time police caught up with them, only £51,000 and the gold could be recovered. The rest of the money had gone. The gold went to the insurance company which had already paid the bank for its loss but the cash has been sitting at the Austrian Justice Ministry ever since.

Neuman's lawyer, Herbert Eichenseder, confirmed he been recently been contacted by court officials and asked to help return the stolen money to his client.

The bank felt it had no claim on the money because it had been compensated in full by its insurance company.

And the insurers said they didn't want it as they had not lost out either. They stolen gold had increased in value so much that it covered all of the money paid to the bank.

Mr Eichenseder said: "I really didn't believe what the court were telling me but I checked it and it was correct. "I had to go into the archives in our cellar to find the details of the case as it was already 19 years old - and I managed to track down the man's details and contacted him to tell him the news.

"To say that he was surprised was an understatement, but he provided his bank account details and the money has now been transferred."

I guess it kind of makes sense... Like if I stole a dollar from you, and bought a winning lottery ticket with it, do I owe you the stolen dollar, or the million bucks I won?

But you [Clod] didn't win it... the owner's dollar won it.

It's more akin to the "fruit of the tainted tree".

According to our courts here in Philadelphia, you owe it all back, even if it can't be conclusively proven that it was stolen.

Quote:

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The U.S. government rightfully seized a set of never-circulated 1933 gold coins from a Philadelphia woman who said she found the rare beauties in her late father's bank deposit box, a jury found Wednesday.The verdict capped an unusual civil case that combined history, coin collecting and whether the $20 "double eagles" ever legally left the U.S. Mint. A single one sold for a record $7.59 million in 2002.
Prosecutors argued that the cherished coins never circulated when the country went off the gold standard — and were therefore stolen, with help from the woman's father, jeweler Israel Switt.
Quote:

Langbord disclosed the existence of the coins to the Treasury Department in 2004 to have them authenticated. The government, noting the box was not rented until years after Switt's 1990 death, instead seized them.
"We didn't think it was a credible story," Romero said Wednesday.
Nonetheless, U.S. District Judge Legrome Davis ordered authorities to defend the forfeiture to a jury. The coins have been kept at Fort Knox, but jurors got a glimpse of them when they were secretly brought to court one day last week.
They should have sent in two to be authenticated. Not even a finder's fee to the relatives for saving the coins from being melted.

I bet I know how that happened.

They have court reporter type stenographers who type up that stuff, and that person didn't know how to spell the dude's name because it was very uncommon. So they looked it up and assigned a hot key or macro to it so that they just had to type alt-F1 or something to get his name, but they forgot that alt-F1 was really the key they set up for Zoe Dechanel (or however the fuck you spell her name) and alt-F2 was for the terrorist dude.

That's my theory, and there are probably some minor holes in it, but I bet it's damn close.

xoxoxoBruce 04-24-2013 01:38 PM

Since it's FOX, the guy typing it couldn't bear to tell the truth. :rolleyes:

Gravdigr 04-24-2013 04:11 PM

I figured the print was parsed automatically, by a computer program or some such, and that was the closest word(s) it had in it's dictionary.
